A brief and concrete answer to Juan:

(A long post follows)
Carlos Replies:
Instead of asking Louis Project, shortly and contundently, to stop
using a "Microsoft" criticque of your writting as an innappropriate
way to argue with you .... you elcted the empty phraseology of
the nothingness and embarked yourself in the defense of the form
over the content.
Your long post "explaining" Louis Project lack of sensitivity
failed to address the very issue at hand: Louis: you should not
capitulate to you English-centrism to criticize an opponent
point of view. After all, we are having the delicacy of trying
to express ourselves in English. Period.
No, you need to go about trying to justify your empty rationale
of annalyzing the form and confusing it with content. In the
same way you tried to confuse Peronism, a historical insignificant
accident and detour of working class consciousness' history (as
Stalinism was)... I will repeat your expression: Que asco!

Carlos Replies:
As your ideology and rationale of common factors is a distortion
of elementary facts, so is your material annalysis by 1990's
standards of a translation from german into English from a
century ago with the English present-day usage by a native
spanish-speaking person. Your logic in this matter is as poor
as your pseudo annalysis of Peronism.

Carlos replies:
Again form over content. You have to attempt to reduce Nahuel
Moreno to the point of describing a sentence in a newspaper
heading or by associating to a multi-tendency party. Pure
form and not content about the ideas, program and political
action (yes, that absent subject in Juan's posting). I
challenge Juan, if he dare to discuss Moreno's political and
practical demonstration of how to create a political organization
that was capable of competing and overcoming Peronism at one
time in the centers of working class activity; yes, the Marxist
who, *in practice", demonstrated how much a charlatan were people
like Juan in confronting Peronism, crushed the CP through a
tactical United front and yes, led many struggles during the 70'
and 80s. Where was Juan then? WEas he trying to confront
peronism and its influence where it counts? In the working class?
Or closeted with a book of Marx he couldn't read because he
was afraid of turning on the light?
Would you have that discussion about the concreteness of working
class action and ideology through class struggle? I doubt it.
Comradely,
Carlos
